Research Abstract |
Surface termination of diamond and its electric conductivity were examined. Electro-chemical reaction in ammonia water resulted not in the termination containing nitrogen but in the oxidation of the surface. It was found that small diamond particles were deposited on the substrate surface. These particles have sharp crystal edges characterized by crystal habits, exhibited electron emission at relatively low electric field in vacuum.
